Dear Chris, There could be any number of reasons for this. Try uploading as "private"-you can change to public later. Try changing all the key words and title words. Make sure the category is correct. Make sure that you are using the correct codec--I recommend H.264 and that the aperture width is ok, although the aperture should not be a cause for rejection.
Lastly, you may be uploading from an ISP that is blocked. If you have a friend with a different ISP, try uploading from there. The only other thing I can think of is that there are content tags in the codec stream, that would be a software issue if so. What software are you using to make the file? best, dt At 10:59 AM 2/11/2008, you wrote: >Daniel, > > > Nah, its only about 4 minutes. > > >Chris > > >--- Daniel Shoskes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > The 2 most common reasons (beside "obscene > > interpretation") are a file that is too large (100 > > MB limit) or the clip lasts too long (>10 min unless > > you have some special "director's" status which I > > assume costs $$). > > > > DS > > > > > > On Monday, February 11, 2008, at 12:36PM, > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >Hey gang, > > > > > > > > > For two weeks I've been unsuccefully attempting > > to > > >upload a lute video to YouTube.
